I've never tried anything from MASH, but I've heard decent reviews on it. It could be your plates though. Konad tend to have the best quality plates in terms of precision and depth of their etching, though the 2012 Bundle Monster set are just as good now. The older BM sets aren't etched as deep, and so are a lot harder to get a good image out of it.

It's definitely worth getting a Konad stamper, scraper, and at least one polish - it will help you figure out what the problem is.

I'm hoping it's not the plates! It's easier to replace the one stamper than the 24 plates I got! But yeah, I've heard more good things about the bundle monster plates than the Shany. Should have gone with those.
